Tread Softly Power Plant is produced using a completely sustainable process. The plant food is a byproduct sourced from food and green waste that has been used to generate energy in the form of gas and electricity. The food waste is sourced from domestic and hospitality use giving a sustainable and beneficial way of disposing of spoiled food as well as the parts of food products not used for consumption. Food waste is one of if not the largest waste and environmental impact of the hospitality industry.
Decomposing food waste in landfill is one of the leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions world wide. The Methane (CH4) created be decomposing food waste in an anaerobic environment is up to 20 times more damaging as a greenhouse the Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The process we use at Tread Softly catches the Methane and uses it for gas power or to convert it into electricity, preventing it from getting into and damaging the environment. This also has the benefit of reducing our reliance of fossil fuels.
The end result of this process is a high nutrient plant food which is perfect for use on both indoor and outdoor plants. It is also great for use in sprouting seedlings from seeds.
